I know the Javari paper was mentioned here by Bruno. Also, the idea of 
deep immutability just isn't rocket science and has occurred to many 
people, and is why many people have started looking into Haskell given 
the new focus on concurrency. However, you're right in that as far as I 
know D is the only language to take the ball and run with it.
